Every year the kid's school puts on this big Fall Festival as the big fundraiser for the year and every year it is a blast. They have face painting, fake tattooing, bounce houses, a cake walk, balloon artists, games, food, and each class donates items to their themed class basket and then they auction the baskets off. They also have tons of other items they auction off....this year I WON SOMETHING!!!! There was a silent auction and I bid $20 on this birthday party package and I won! It is a big deal! I have always wanted Emma to have a birthday party at the gymnastics place here, but it costs $250 to have the party there! I am not going to pay that much...but I will pay $20 :) It's so funny because I was just thinking that I should start planning her party now because right after Halloween it seems that life gets crazy and then before I know it Thanksgiving is over and I'm always scrambling to plan a last minute party for Emma. NOT THIS YEAR!!!!! YEA! We also bid on another thing that I THOUGHT was tickets to the performance of Wizard of Oz that the local kids theater puts on, but as I read the certificate that I got it is $75 off tuition for Emma to be IN the performance. Ooops. I can't wait until Emma comes home from school today to see if she wants to be IN it :)
Anyway it was a very fun night. Emma won one of the cakes in the cake walk after trying for about 2 hours :) They started out with over 100 cakes and by the time she won there were only 5 cakes left and they were the gross ones that no one wanted, so she ended up with a small pecan pie that she brought home for Matt. She didn't care, she was just glad she won. Bragging rights mean more to Emma then a dumb cake :)
The school made $9,000 at the festival!

I think most kids would have dissolved into tears not winning yet and only a few ugly cakes left. Love that girl...and LOVE her face paint. I'll bet she didn't want to wash her face for a very long time!
